Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Female
Hello. My betta fish is a baby and I don't know how much to feed her. Whenever I go over to her tank, she swims around and begs for food. I don't know how much I should feed her. I feed her on flake once a day everyday. Should I be feeding her more?

While she is a baby, you can feed her twice a day. Only feed as much as she can eat in a minute or two. If you feed too much the feed will fall to the ground and then contaminate the water.Later, when she is grown up you can change to feeding her once a day. Your fish figured out that you feed her when you come near the tank, So it is fairly normal for her to beg.
